I'm a huge fan of B&W stripes so I love all three cards. The orange flowers are sooo beautiful! I have one plant in my garden that gets orange flowers and they only stay open one day, so you have to look every day!

Erum, you never disappoint me....you always have stunning card samples....I was so glad to see you use the black and white background papers.....the cards were all beautiful.....thanks you so much....Happy Holidays!

Gorgeous cards! I absolutely love the first one using the ruffled flower stamp set - that is such a beautiful stamp set! I love how yours looks on the B&W striped background! Thanks for all the great inspiration!

Very nice cards Erum! I love the look of the background papers which seem to be coming back in trend lately. Classy and time saving for sure. They lend to another way to create with them and there are many ideas that are so beautiful.

It is amazingly difficult to find nice black & white paper for cardmaking, so I'm glad to see this in your new release. All your cards show just how lovely it can be as a base for colorful floral designs.

I'm so sorry you are unwell. I'll pray that God grants healing. Your cards are lovely. The paper is great and I love the 'Love"card. It looks very elegant. I am becoming a big fan of the layered stamping. I don't have much of a chance to color and so my ability to do well has decreased due to lack of practice and patience.

Beautiful cards. I love that you use the black and white paper for your background and the primrose stamp is my favorite of this release so I was thrilled that you used it also. Thanks for the inspiration.

All 3 cards are awesome! I love the Essential Black & White Paper Pack and you have showcased them here so well along with some of the other awesome items. Great job, thank you for the inspiration. I sure hope you get to feeling much better very soon. (mardy14@bellsouth.net)

Love all three of your cards, but my favorite has to be the "Love" card. Really liked the color you added to "love." I also love the backgrounds in all three cards. Great use of black and white. Thanks for sharing.

E.T., thank you so much for sharing these three cards! I am new to card making and love seeing such wonderful inspiration. I especially love the colors you use with the riffled flowers stamp set. Thank you for sharing!
